For this was taken out off Pighius / and objected off Harding against the bishop off Salisbury: unto whom alleging for the proof thereof the Epistles off Pope Gregory / the bishop answereth / he could not refuse that which was never offered him. And the truth is / that not only there is no such offer to be found in that Council / but things plainly repugnant. For it saith expressly / the bishop off Constantinople shall have equal ²privileges with Rome. And the same Council giveth the same honour throughout unto the bishop off Constantinople / which it gave the bishop off Rome: saving that because it was the first seat off the Empire / it is content that it shall have the first place. The same also may appear by the second provincial Council off Constantinople / where this is repeated ³out off the Calcedon Council. Now seeing this council made the Bishop of Constantinople equal in privileges / and honour with the Bishop off Rome: it must needs be a mere fable off ⟨p. CCCCXCVIII⟩Pope Gregory / the Papists / and our D. that this Council offered unto the Bishop off Constantinople / the title off universal Bishop. Thus with my unskilfulness, I am constrained to make up the gap / the D. layeth open unto the Papists.

But yowr lodes man here as in other places / hath seduced ¹
